When two ocean plates collide.
Ocean Trenches, Island Arcs, Volcanic Mountain Chains, Magmatic Arcs.
An oceanic-oceanic convergence occurs when two plates made of oceanic crust collide. This collision can lead to the formation of deep oceanic trenches, volcanic island arcs, and earthquakes. Over time, the denser plate may subduct beneath the other, leading to the recycling of oceanic crust back into the mantle.
Ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and island arcs are examples of geologic features on the ocean floor formed by crustal plates moving together. Subduction zones are common in these areas, where one plate is forced beneath another, creating deep ocean trenches and leading to volcanic activity along the plate boundaries. Island arcs can also form as a result of subduction, with chains of volcanic islands aligning parallel to the trenches.
In a subduction zone, one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate into the Earth's mantle. This process leads to the formation of deep ocean trenches, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. Subduction zones are also associated with the creation of mountain ranges and volcanic arcs.
When volcanoes are found where two oceanic plates collide, they form at a subduction zone. This is where one plate is being forced underneath the other plate, creating intense heat and pressure that leads to volcanic activity.
They are the result of the subduction processes related to plate tectonic movements, specifically they mostly form where one oceanic tectonic plate subducts another one.
Volcanic arcs and island arcs are both formed as a result of subduction zones, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another. In both cases, the subduction process leads to the melting of the mantle and the formation of magma, which rises to create volcanic activity. Volcanic arcs typically occur on continental margins, while island arcs are found in oceanic settings, often resulting in a chain of volcanic islands. Despite this geographical distinction, both arcs share similar geological processes and are characterized by volcanic activity and associated tectonic features.

In the Pacific Ocean.
At a volcanic island arc, an oceanic plate slides into the mantle and thus oceanic crust is destroyed. The volcanoes add material on to of the crust, but to not cause the crust to expand outward.

Yes, earthquakes frequently occur near island arcs as they are geologically active regions where tectonic plates are colliding or subducting. Subduction zones along these island arcs can generate powerful earthquakes due to the intense geological activity.
volcanic island arcs
Volcanic arcs form at plate subduction zones. Island arcs are volcanic islands that form over "hot spots" in the Earth's mantle. Because the islands are moving with the oceanic plate, they eventually are removed from the hot spot, forming a chain of islands in the direction of the plate movement.
